Tani .7. whom it-mag concern Be it "known that 1, means J. LINDE-r'esident di' Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and 'State'ofWisconsin, have 1nvented certain new and useful improvements in Reservors for Oil-Stoves and I do hereby declare that the following as a full,clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention refers to oil burmng stoves and has for its primary objectto provide a simple, economical and efiective means in connection withthe stove for independently supporting a detachable main reservoir orfont over a supplemental reservoir, which supplemental reservoir is inpipe connection with the burner or burners.

Specific objects of my invention are to provide a main reservoir havinga support engaging shoulder or head pro ecting from its body, the saidreservoir being preferably composed of vitreous material, whereby itscontents are visible. To provide a supporting hanger in connection withthe stove for engagement with the reservoir shoulder or bead and soconstructed and arranged as to support said main reservoir over theauxiliary reservoir, whereby load strain is. en tirely relieved from theauxiliary reservoir, while at the same time the said auxiliary reservoiris positioned to receive oil supply from the main reservoir. By thisindepend ent suspension of the main reservoir an air space between thereservoirs is maintained forming a ventfor the superimposed auxiliaryreservoir. To provide the auxiliary reservoir with a collecting lipabout its mouth, whereby drainage from the standard valve-controllednozzle of the main reservoir is trapped and shed into said auxiliaryreservoir. 4 i

- With the above and other objects in view the'invention consists incertain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts as fullyset forth hereinafter with reference to quently claimed.

In "the drawings Figure 1 represents a fragmentary elevation of an Ollburning the accompanying drawings and subsei stove equipped with areservoir suspension means embodying the features of my invention, partsbeing broken away and in section to-more clearly illustrate the detailsof construction; Fig. 2, a sectional plan view of thereservoirsuspension mechanism, the

. the auxiliary reservoir extended collecting section being indicated byline 22 of Fig.

1; Fig. 3, a detailed partly sectional elevation of another form ofreservoir suspension means embodying the features of my invention, andFig. e, a sectional plan view of the same, the section being indicatedby line l-4 of Fig. 3.

Referring by characters to the drawings, 1 represents an oil burningstove provided with a wick burner 2. which burner is supported by and incommunication with an oil supply pipe 3. The oil supply pipe extendsthrough an end wall 1 of the stove, its outer end being in threadedunion with a bottom aperture of a horizontally disposed auxiliaryreservoir l. Thus it will be seen that is supported by its pipeconnection to the burner, although, if desired, the said auxiliaryreservoir may be otherwise braced.

As shown, the mouth of the auxiliary reservoir -l is provided with aninwardly lip 5, which lip is also inclined downwardly to form a catchbasin, whereby drippings from the nozzle? of a main reservoir 8 aretrapped and collected in the bottom of the auxiliary reservoir, it beingunderstood thatin seating the main reservoir in its position over theauxiliary vided with suspension means projecting therefrom, in the formf a head 8 which bead engages the ring w en the reservoir is droppedinto place and thus holds said reservoir in suspension whereby theweight of the Y same is. supported independently of the auxiliaryreservoir. As shown, the body of the reservoir is positioned verticallyand the body bead is preferably located upon a plane above the center ofsaid body.. Thus the preponderance of the load is below the point ofsuspension, whereby tendency of the reservoir to tip is eliminated. F orconvenience in fitting the main bottle-like reservoir within the hangerring the body of the same that merges into the shouldered nozzle portion7 is slightly crowned or rounded, whereby the said reseronly connectionbetween the associated reser- VOlI'S;

The nozzle 7 extends through the mouth of the auxiliary reservoir butclears the edges thereof to form an air space between said mouth and theouter Wall of the nozzle, whereby the. auxiliary reservoir is ventedThus it will be seen that the main reservoir is detachably supportedabove the auxiliary reservoir and entirely independent of the saine, sothat load strain upon said auxiliary reservoir is eliminated, While, atthe same time the relative positions assumed by the reservoirs form anair space between the collecting lip 5 and the juxtaposed lower wall ofthe main reservoir. This spacing of the reservoirs apart alsoefi'ectually eliminates the tendency of oil being distributed about thebody of the main 1 reservoir by capillary attraction and hence the mainreservoir is kept clean for convcnience in handling.

While I have illustrated and described the skeleton hanger as anuninterrupted ring or band, it is obvious that the same may be variedwithin the knowledge of the ordinary skill of the mechanic withoutdeparting from the spiritof my invention. 'Itis also noticeable that, inthe several constructions shown, the skeleton. or band-like nanger isdesigned to receive a main reservoir and support the same in such mannerthat said main reservoir is clearly visible both above and below thehanger, whereby its contents may be seen at a, glance.

Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings illustrate a modified form of hangeradapted to be stamped from In this instance the sheet metal blank isstamped out to form a circular receiving aperture having a downturnedflange 13, whereby the hanger is stiffened and the shank of the hangeris provided With feet extensions 14: that serve as braces and also meansfor securing the said hanger to the frame or body of the stove 1. thatthe shelf-like hanger so formed of pressed steel, may constitute asingle stamping or the.bracket portions may be attached thereto'as asubstitute for the integral feet.

I claim:

A stove having an oil burner, an auxiliary reservoir, and a pipeconnecting the burner and reservoir; in combination with a slreletonhanger extending from the stove and over the auxiliary reservoir, and amain reservoir having a bead extending from itsbody adapted to engagethe hanger for sup porting said main reservoir independent of theaforesaid auxiliary reservoir.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand atMilwaukee in the county of Milwaukee and State of WVisconsin in thepresence of two witnesses.
